WHITE COLLAR CRIME AND FRAUD INVESTIGATION

White collar criminality has become a global phenomenon with the rise of e-commerce and technology. Like any other country, India is also struggling with white-collar crimes. The recent advances in information technology have added new variations to white collar crime. There has been an unprecedented growth in new forms of white-collar computer dominated crime commonly known as cybercrimes.

These cases have become a matter of global concern and a challenge for law enforcement agencies in the new millennium due to the specific nature of this crime, which can be carried out anonymously, away from the victims and without any physical presence. In addition, cyber criminals use computer technology to inflict the damage without the risk of arrest. The main areas affected by cybercrime are banking and financial institutions, businesses, energy and telecommunication services, transportation, industries etc.
